The Road to Turangalîla
Captioned
An insight into the musical world of the London Symphony Orchestra, presented by Nicola Benedetti and Sir Simon Rattle. They’ll begin the evening with an on-stage conversation, before Rattle conducts the orchestra in an upbeat programme of early 20th-century French works that inspired Oliver Messiaen’s Turangalîla Symphony. Paul Dukas, who taught Messiaen, takes us to Persia, while Darius Milhaud blends classical and jazz, linking to the big band sounds that infuse Messiaen’s symphony.
Supported by Edinburgh Napier University and Susie Thomson
